What did Vestron do with its "Dirty Dancing" earnings? -- Part 4

Continued from Part 3

=======

In Part 1 of this series, I guesstimated that Vestron earned about $25 million from Dirty Dancing during the years 1987-1992. Now that I have thought about this some more, I suppose that Vestron got only half ($12.5 million?) of those 1987-1992 earnings.

Linda Gottlieb got the other half. By 2019, her net worth has grown to $248 million -- a quarter of a billion dollars! Gottlieb got fabulously rich from the movie.

(See my previous article Eleanor Bergstein never got rich from Dirty Dancing.)

Below are five more movies that Vestron co-produced, squandering its Dirty Dancing earnings.

(The date after the movie's title is the movie's release date.)
